RUMOUR - Victor Anichebe...

[paultheroyal]

Whisper it quietly....

Maybe, just maybe we are talking

[WoodleyRoyal]

very much doubt it, but if true this would absolutely bloody fantastic, and exactly the sort of striker we need

[Stranded]

Could be a beast at Championship level and Clarke did sign him for West Brom. 33 goals in 206 apps isn't amazing but that is all at PL and European level.

He's big and black so gets my vote

[YateleyRoyal]

:shock: very much doubt it, but if true this would absolutely bloody fantastic, and exactly the sort of striker we need

What, one who doesn't score goals?

[MoorgateRoyal]

I've never really rated him.

He's big and powerful but seems clumsy, and I'm not convinced he will be prolific at this level.

And he's now 27, which is older than I thought, and I don't think he is good enough (or experienced enough for that matter) to be a leading senior player in the squad.

[gazzer, loyal royal]

an absolute handful when he is fully fit, only problem is he is massively injury prone. I would expect WBA to try and recover a lot of the £5m they paid for him too

Updated for you.

I take it you have seen the other strikers here?

[John Smith]

Can't see this happening unless it's a short term loan

[Winston Smith]

24 league goals in 11 seasons.

Clap clap

I have.

And I don't think Anichebe would be any better.

[Sutekh]

24 league goals in 11 seasons.

Victor Anichebe!

Given some of our current strikers that record is actually impressive - even more so when you realise he's probably only played about 50 games in that time.

Wiki says 165

That's how I like my coffee. ..would it get your vote as well?

[Z175]

I think he'd be a good signing in the championship. If you consider the silly money Bristol city are bidding on relatively untested players then to get a player of his ability and experience would be a coup and you would imagine he wouldn't cost a lot.

Bit cheeky of Clarke to bid 500k for him this time round though!

[linkenholtroyal]

Who has said there is a 500k bid from us

[Z175]

Who has said there is a 500k bid from us

I just assumed that would be our opening bid....or do you think Clarke will stick to his previous 6m valuation?
